"As a matter of fact, we are going to be baking chocolate chip cookies... My favorite," Sophie smiled, brightly. "Now I know baking cookies doesn't sound like it has anything to do with potions but, the two are very similar. I figured we would start off baking, which is relatively safe, before we move onto any real potions work.

"I've written the instructions on the board. Once you have your cookie dough ready, you can come up and get a tray to put the cookies on. Then, the house elves from the kitchen have agreed to take them down to the ovens to bake. We can have a little party after they are done to celebrate the successful class and eat the delicious cookies," she said, cheerfully, taking one of her own cookies from the tray on her desk and sitting back down to nibble on it while the students got to work.

They are NOT poisoned and only cause flatulence in very "great" men.
